does "Terminal Server" really exists?

[Guest Jeff]

hey

 

When people say "Terminal Server" on a windows platform (Windows Server 2003

platform), to they then really mean "Terminal Server" or do they mean

Terminal Services?

 

I've checked microsoft.com and AFAIK they mean Terminal Service, a service

which can be set to run on a Windows Server 2003.

 

However I'm not sure... so that's why I post here...

 

(I'm a newbie on Terminal Server)

"Terminal Services" is a *feature* of Windows 2k/2003, which requires

separate licensing.

 

"Terminal Server" is just a common way to refer to a Windows server which

hosts Terminal Services.

 

Hope that's clearer. Note that TS has its own group -

microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services.
